AppImage literally lets you double click the file to run it, you don't even unzip it first. It couldn't be simpler. If you're a power user who eschews desktop environments, then you chmod+x the file and run it.

It's the other two that complicate the matter in order to provide sandboxing. Thankfully you can simply choose not to use snap or flatpack. Really though, to characterize AppImage that way makes your comment sounds like the sort of cope windows users tell themselves to explain to themselves why they continue to tolerate Microsoft's abusive business practices.
